oh boy, am i going to get made fun of for this one... but with mad men's recent focus group meltdowns,
and fairly-heated exchanges between peggy and freddie rumsen on the subject,
i can't resist admitting to you all that it might be 2010, but i have been using pond's cold cream since i was a little girl.
my mom has used it for as long as i can remember (and likely before that!). i first started using it at dance recitals and competitions to remove the stage make-up, so when i began wearing make-up on a daily basis, i didn't think twice about continuing to use this little product to remove make-up residue after washing my face. works like a charm!
and then i hit college, and my girlfriends would die laughing every time i pulled out my "grannie" cream (and they still do to this day!); but i tell you what, i haven't found a better (not to mention cheaper!) way to take off the waterproof mascara i wear every day.
and although nothing about its recent appearance on mad men has made it hipper to use (seeing as how apparently it was considered "old" in the 1960s, epic fail!), i have a feeling i'll be using cold cream til they stop making it.
but just to clarify, dr. faye miller, it's so not to catch a husband
{feminism fail!}
{if he had his way, i wonder if don would have made something like this instead?}
i heart cold cream, it's as simple as that. feel free to openly mock my old-fashioned ways, it's standard operating procedure at this point ;)
but - don't be afraid to try it either! i honestly don't know how anyone goes without it.
xo. di.
**ps i think it's important i say i received ZERO compensation or anything free for this post. if i ever do, i will always tell you guys. but with pond's? that's pure love!
